Check this version out - "Going Going Gone - Bill Frisell, Robin Holcomb & Wayne Horvitz " . Frisell gives this version a great guitar solo.

A favorite Dylan song. So happy someone had the guts to cover it.

Love it. Excellent cover. I am rediscovering the Voidoids after ignoring them pretty much during my Talking Heads, Blondie phase...but there were a lot of other really good bands then too like Television...that I had heard plenty about and never listened to. It was a time in music that will likely never be repeated. A really crystalline moment of music genre alchemy.

I know it's a sin, but I prefer this to the original. I am a fan of Dylan and Hell.

"Who cares"? You obviously do, since you commented on something that had nothing to do with you and couldn't possibly bother you either. You must be a lovely, very tolerant fellow, I bet everybody loves you! Comment space is here for a reason, and you don't have to read them if you don't want to. If you have nothing interesting to say - quite possibly because YOU're boring, lol! - don't take it out on others. And while you're at it, grow up, learn some manners, and mind your own business

so that they had the freedom to develop as they liked, musically-speaking 4) If you cut a tree's roots it dies. Richard Hell goes back to Dylan; The Pistols went back to The Who, Modern Lovers, Eddie Cochran, etc.. Young bands I meet today don't even know R&R's roots. Lennon's a case in point: he was a black leather--clad Rocker when The Beatles started; same image as his penultimate album Rock'n'Roll. I stop here. If you're a musician I wish you all the best, it's the world's most difficult job

3) Today they're all in their little ghettos, self-labeling themselves as Punk, Grunge, Doom/Thrash/Death Metal, etc.. whether in the past people had an open mind & called themselves just R&R; The Ramones or The Sex Pistols didn't go round calling themselves 'Punk': The Pistols' film was called The Great R&R Swindle, The Ramones' one Rock'n'Roll High School. The best R&R artists developed while staying true to their roots: look at the careers of Dylan, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, Bowie, etc. (continues)

(cont. from before) but what films, literature, art, clothes, etc. are connected to R&R today? What do today's bands stand for? They're just part of the 'leisure industry', making money for multinationals. Of course R&R is still a culture, but not a counter-culture with mass appeal that sticks it to "the man" (to quote Creedence Clearwater Revival) like Elvis, Dylan, The Beatles, The Stones or Bowie; today's bands don't communicate on a mass level 'cos their songs have nothing to say (continues)

But let me finish (I had things to do earlier) what I mean: 1) Today music is segregated again; black kids listen to Hip Hop, white kids to 'Indie', but once major rockstars were black: Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, etc..a Soul singer like Otis Redding covered songs by The Beatles & The Stones; The Stones went toured with Stevie Wonder & Ike & Tina Turner 2) The counter-culture involved art (like Andy Warhol), literature (Burroughs, Kerouac, etc..) films, etc. (continues)

Whether one likes Lennon's music or not is not the point: The Beatles renewed R&R, made it popular all over the world, & Lennon later became outspoken against the Vietnam war & a threat to the establishment. He certainly was never into any hippie stuff & said so said in many interviews (like the famous one with Rolling Stone in 1970) neither was his music similar to the Californian hippie bands. When you say that Justin whoever tops the charts today.. well, that's exactly my point, thank you

Clearly I wasn't talking about you 'cos I don't know you. The "all" referred to all those who leave comments like that. I hope there are people your age who are smart & who can play, but nowadays R&R is considered 'alternative' not the main type of music young people listen to. There are no rebellious bands at the top of the charts like The Stones in the '60s or The Sex Pistols in 77. It's safe, doesn't impact on society, it's not a way of life, a counter-culture. I mean, they had to kill Lennon

Great song, maybe better than Dylan's original on Planet Waves.. I see "rip r hell" at the top.. Richard Hell's not dead & he has nothing to do with New Orleans either, the guy must be confusing him with Johnny Thunders, & that was in 1991! Isn't it sad how all these younger people mention all these names randomly thinking they're experts, apparently unable to produce any decent Rock'n'Roll, with all their tribute/cover bands doing others' stuff, as music came to a stop? Thanks for posting this
